Why is the tailgate on my Honda Accord not working?
Hi, my 2006 Honda Accord 2.2 CDTI Touring tailgate suddenly stopped working whilst in the open position. Tried to shut manually but lock remained open. Manually released lock and shut tailgate. Now can’t open unless crawling into boot. Key fob does nothing. Tailgate light now constantly on.
What to do if your tailgate won’t open?
Just had exactly this with a 57 GD Jazz, tailgate wouldn’t open whether locked or unlocked. Pushing the handle/lever forward into the position then unlocking sorted it. Will give it a squirt of WD or spray grease. Thanks folks!!!!! I also have had the same problem intermittently with the boot catch not opening.
How to fix boot handle on Honda Accord?
Opened the boot and sprayed loads of WD40 onto the handle mechanism, let it soak for 5 minutes wiping away any run off – mine brought a load of muck with it. Operated the lever a good few times, sprayed again and cleaned off any run-off. The lock now works fine and hasn’t jammed again.
Why does the boot handle not move when I unlock the car?
When you next unlock, the lock solenoid cannot move because of the resulting slight misalignment within the lock levers. It requires lubrication in there. I took my mechanism out and tried to file the corner off some bit but it was the lubrication that fixed it, for a few months. Just don’t try the boot if the car is locked.

Which is better Honda Accord Tourer petrol or diesel?
The 2.4-litre petrol engine offers the most performance in the range, but the downside is low-thirties fuel economy. The 2.0-litre offers a better compromise, reaching a claimed 40mpg, but the diesel is the one to go for if running costs are a priority, as it will top 50mpg and be cheaper to tax thanks to its lower CO2 emissions.
Is the Honda Accord 2.2 DTEC tourer 4 door?
The 2.2 diesel version that we tested had the same excellent noise-suppression abilities as the four-door, although it needs to be worked hard to give its best. On our car’s 17-inch wheels it also has the same mildly knobbly low-speed ride quality, although the chassis becomes noticeably more supple when you’re up to cruising pace.
